Introduction
Properties of reinforced concrete:
What is Concrete?
Properties of reinforced.
When these ingredients are mixed, they form
Properties of reinforced.
Properties of reinforced.
In order to make this selection intelligently,
the selecting person should be able to assess
concrete-making materials, and should know
what to select, how to select it, and why to
select it in a particular way. In other words,
he or she should be familiar with the
available types of each of the concretemaking materials; the significance and
application.

Grade of Concrete:
Concrete
is
graded
in
terms
of
characteristic compressive cube strength.
The grade of concrete to be used in design
depends on the classification of concrete
works and its intended use.
EBCS-2 specifies grades of concrete for
two classes of concrete works as shown
